AJS Blog Relic
All blog comments new - or ancient, get forwarded to our personal emails. But it's always a pleasant surprise when old posts still send out ripples. Yesterday Canadian John Gregg left this note on his own bike which had been a mystery since 2009! BP
I purchased this bike 46 years ago for $25 and it has been in waiting ever since. Plans now are to do it up and take it to Bonneville Speed Week this year and try for the Ton and a record. Will be respecting the patina as much as we can. Follow progress here - http://www2.vip.net/jgregg/

Endre Kozma
I just explore a story and found this picture. One of most succesful Hungarian rider before II World War, Endre Kozma with his AJS slide in the corner.
Best regards Peter Guld

AJS Where Are You?
UPDATE
Chalfont VMCC hillclimb 2010. Stone the crows Drakey, you're right!
I even posted a comment on it - but I've got the memory of a beermat. 30 years later and the bike looks just as good, the trailer even more ropey. BP

Patrick's AJS built with help from FRED
This is Patrick's wonderful AJS we feature in Sideburn 6. Dimitri Coste sent us the photos and I wrote a few words to go with it. But I made a mistake. The guy whose expertise built the bike is called FRED, I mistakenly referred to him as Frank. This upset Patrick greatly. He pointed out in the strongest terms that I am a useless retard. All I can do is agree. Mick in Rome checks the magazine before print but there was no way he'd know that I'd got Fred's name wrong.
I'm not cut out for this kind of work. Luckily McDonald's are hiring. If they give me a chance, as I hope they will, this could (and probably should) be the last you hear from me. If not I will just have to carry on making mistakes and upsetting people. If I do, I apologise wholeheartedly in advance.
And I'll take this opportunity to say sorry to Patrick and Fred once more. It really was an honest mistake made by someone who always tries to do too many things at once. Fred, you did a great job. Patrick, you too. GI
PS The person who never made a mistake never made anything.

Parisian AJS
From Patrick in Paris
I bought the Flat Track Racing book from you back in September. I mentioned that a good friend here in Paris was building me a 1951 AJS 18SC bobbed flat tracker that I shipped (along with 2 B33's) out from Los Angeles couple years ago.
So, I just wanted to show you a couple before and after photos of the bike and see if you might be interested for your mag. These were just shot with a phone, sorry about that. I am a photographer by trade, so I could supply you with some real photos and a bit of text/ description if your interested.
Thanks and keep u the killer mag!
Patrick
